Sarah asked me to make a hat for her daughter’s 1st birthday based on this print by Kim Parker .

I was thrilled, being a huge fan of hers. I adore Kim Parker’s work, from her paintings to her home decor. Everything is so bright, bold and colorful….beautiful! Anything by her would make a statement in your home. You can take a look at all of her work here. Anyway, enough gushing…here is my very literal interpretation of the print, in a hat form. What do you think?

I have had the ladybug hat in my shop for a while, and it is always a favorite, but this bunting is a first of it’s kind. The ladybug is darling, she is just a tad smaller and the little antennae are adorable. I think my favorite part is how the black buttons mimic the spots on her back…I customized the hat with Grayson’s initials and a 1, with a tiny white daisy.

Happy Birthday Grayson, I hope you have a wonderful birthday baby girl!

Always happy to do my best to customize anything in my shop when I can. I was having a moment on where to put Luca’s name, when it dawned on me...how about writing Luca was part of the wave. Heehee I love how it all comes together! I adore the way it turned out. How do you like it?

I am usually asked to make the Pin the Tail on the Genevieve game for a Madeline inspired party, but Andrew’s mama asked me to make the game for her son’s Puppy themed birthday party. Genius…why I had never considered it, is sort of funny to me, but opened my mind to other possibilities. She also requested a hat to look like the puppy on the game. I love the detail of the puppy on the hat…who doesn’t love a puppy?
